He is probably closer to a starter there than one might think. I am not sure Cptn. Comeback is sold on his guys.

Needless to say, most Niners fans are quite pleased about the acquisition of Scott Tolzien, especially considering the fact that he currently seems a lot more “NFL ready” than their 2011 2nd round draft pick, QB Colin Kaepernick: http://forums.49ers.com/messageboard/showthread.php?t=118762
Some highlights:

I'm watching the SD game right now recorded from Thursday night and watching Scott Tolzien throw, this guy has zip on the ball. He doesn't have average arm strength. He definitely has above average arm strength, at least in this game he is putting zip on a lot of his passes and they are impressive.

And those of you who say its against scrubs, regardless most of these 9ers made the team and some are actually 1st stringers. Most importantly, Tolzien is doing this with a lot of pressure in his face. The 9ers pass rush was on fire during this time and Tolzien had constant pressure in his face but showed ton of poise in making accurate completions.

I was jealous watching Tolzien on Thursday saying why can't we have a good quarterback like this. Now that he is a niner I am really happy.

To everybody who is claiming that Kaepernick will not be ready for years and that Tolzien looks better and ready to play now, let's suppose that you're right. What does that say about our (and all other teams') evaluating and drafting? If the UDFA Tolzien eventually outperforms our second round pick, somebody in the front office needs to be fired.

He excelled at play action in college and with our run oriented line and Gore (plus Hunter) this is a great fit. We'll do plenty of play action.
Also with our wco and the focus on short high percentage passes, this also is a great fit for Tolzein. Ok we were unlucky with Smith vs. Rogers choice. Now maybe we got lucky with Tolzien.

i just watched the game again, and good grief, tolzien is an accurate little man. we should just give our second rounders away from now on. i cant remember the last time we got one that was worth anything.

Tolzien has a better completion percentage than Andrew Luck. He has very accurate with the ball and can put it anywhere you want it on the field. He's not a gun slinger but can operate a solid play-action attack on offense and can make tough throws out of the shotgun. He has the best footwork out of any QB in this draft and he is also a proven leader. He has a military background and if you listen to interviews with the coaches and players from Wisco, they constantly talk about how he is irreplaceable on that team and he is a true leader. I love the velocity he puts on the ball and the fact that he actually makes all of his reads, which we all know is rare for a young QB.

Maybe Tolzien could develop into a Matt Flynn type. Flynn was drafted in the 7th round in 2008 by GB and he's ended up being a good backup and spot starter under the tutoring of McCarthy.

It was a gut-wrenching decision for QB Scott Tolzien to pick Chargers over 49ers as an undrafted free agent. Now, he's with 49ers.

yeah, but his decision to go with the chargers made sense. he chose the chargers over the niners to play with phillip rivers and get mentored by him. Now he gets to play with ALEX SMITH, what a come down. hopefully, harbaugh blocks alex from teaching hesitation to tolzien. one thing i liked alot about tolzien was his decisiveness.

I didnt even know Tolzien was a rookie, The way he was making throws in tight windows looked like a pro to me. I think he is more pro ready then Colin at this point. I think this is a sign that Colin is not quaranteed starting job when Alex is gone. Looks like Harbaugh is getting ready if Colin doesn't pan out.

What was his accuracy in college like almost 70%. People forget Arm Str and Speed arent the only stats that can make you a GREAT QB . Obviously his arm is strong enough for the nfl or he wouldnt be here. As far as other stats like Uncanny accuracy and touch can also as well make you a GREAT QB remember #16. It was Joes quick assessment poise accuracy and touch that made him who he was so to say Tolzien doesn't have the physical tools to be anything in the NFL is false. It just depends on if that 70% accuracy migrates to NFL as well. Now im not saying he is the next Montana Im just saying any rookie in the NFL has the chance to be the next HOF.

My favorite one of the bunch:

Give Kaepernick to Al Davis. He would love him. He's tall, runs a 4.5, has a strong arm, and sucks. He'd be the perfect Raider.

Some highlights:

Young spent a portion of last season on the Bolts’ practice squad and spent training camp in San Diego. Willy, who spent training camp with the New York Jets, has spent time with the Baltimore Ravens, Indianapolis Colts and Las Vegas Locomotives (UFL).

Drew effin Willy and how many O linemen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Jeez what a disaster. Young has not got it period. A waste of a spot, what about all the talk of Broadway or Odim!!?. Bryant is intriguing. He certainly looked like he had some strength but wasn't very 'cat like' ala Liuget for example. Hoping he can do a Dielman. But if he is being projected as a Tackle why have Young there too. With Schilling!. We should have a D back or D lineman there instead.

What would be a disaster would be Rivers and Volek going down and not having a QB anywhere on the roster, to include the PS.
